Lotus Jump Review
14 Jan
Lotus Jump is new tool being offered for small business owners who wish to increase their inbound links for SEO purposes.
Before jumping into my short review, here are some other comments on the service…
Lotus Jump Pros
- A great way for small business or the SEO beginners to jump in, get there feet wet and start to develop backlinks.
- Removes a large proportion of the usual time it takes to find backlink resources. One of my main comments has always been – “SEO is not hard just time consuming”.
- A simple to use interface with clear instructions on how to complete each task quickly and effectively.
- Both the “competitive” and “buzz” tasks look to be highly effective in building backlinks to your index page and deeper pages that are on theme.
- The main pro is definitely saving the small business owner time in finding appropriate backlinks.
Lotus Jump Cons
- No on page factor application at the moment which is of major importance in building top rankings.
- Both the “content building” and “directory submission” tasks are a little too generic for my liking. If they could set this up to find resources that are more on theme than generic this would be of great help. Or have several directory options such as “general business, local, themed” would be a great improvement.
- As stated else where, 3 keywords or phrases is not enough. That being stated, a great start for your first month of SEO link building.
Lotus Jump Link Building/SEO Overall
- A great tool for those small businesses looking to make a start in SEO and save time on gaining backlinks.
- An additional tool to help with onsite optimization would be required and then better backlink research after the first 3 months or so.

Have you been using this tool for the past 6 weeks (sine the post), and if so, have you seen results? I know there are many factors that go into optimizaiton over time, but I would love to read an update on the impact this tool has made for you. Thanks!
No I don’t use the tool myself as we usually do more in depth analysis of resources, directories, blogs and web 2.0 sites.
That being said the tool would be good for small business with limited time as it can accomplish quite a few tasks using the one application.
